Denver music lovers have waited a long time for a full-length album from Snake Rattle Rattle Snake, last year’s top finisher in the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase poll. That wait will end next month, with the release of “Sineater” on the band’s own Glow & Arrow records, with help from Greater Than Collective, the new Denver label founded by Virgil Dickerson of Suburban Home Records, Andy Thomas of Tin Horn Prayer (among many others) and Pete Turner of Illegal Pete’s. Ordinary folks can get their hands on the CD on August 20 at the Bluebird Theater. However, you — lucky Reverb reader and follower of Steal This Track — won’t have to wait that long. You can steal a sneak preview right now, only from Reverb.

Fans of the sextet’s previous work — the kinetic drum attack of veteran Andrew Warner, the ringing guitars of Doug Spencer and Wilson Helmericks, the prominent bass of James Yardley and the femme fatale vocals of Hayley Helmericks — will find plenty of what they love on “Sineater,” but the album’s 10 tracks also prove there’s more to the band than its previous EP and 7″ have revealed.

While dark, sexy and powerful tracks like “NOPD” and “Warning” hew close to the spacey noir pop Snake Rattle Rattle Snake has perfected, “Break the Same” and the epic “Kafka and the Milk” show the band spreading its freaky wings to explore the groovy id that hides beneath its well-groomed ego. The album has its slow points — “Adoration” and “Paperskin” seem to lack the sincere sensuality of the rest — but its a satisfying listen all the way through. Just to wet your lips, steal “Break the Same.” Turn off the lamp, silence your phone, light some candles and enjoy it with a goblet of blood-red wine.

Snake Rattle Rattle Snake performs on the Sailor Jerry Main Stage in the Goodwill parking lot at 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 23 as part of The 11th annual UMS. Click here to view the full line-up and buy tickets — $40 for a four-day wristband.
